Dan,
This is great! I did not expect your sector antenna to have such favorable improvement over the QRT-5. I hope the QRT-5 performs well in its new home.
I am curious if a Poynting grid antenna could be aimed precisely enough from your tree mount to gain a few more dB.
Here's how the improvement looks on the graph (the gap is the time it took for me to point the monitoring at your new IP address):
